A handful of families in Gippsland has taken the extraordinary step of seeking an intervention order for domestic violence, against an intellectually disabled woman. The families say they've been driven to the courts, after bureaucratic stonewalling by the Government department responsible for care of the disabled. It couldn't happen at a worse time for the Government, which is trying to convince Kew Cottages residents to move into the community. The Gippsland families, backed by independent advocates and the police, say their disabled relatives are being attacked in their own home. Stateline was unable to put concerns raised in this story to the Department of Human Services. A spokeswoman would only say it wasn't in the Department's interest to be interviewed. Late today the Department released a statement acknowledging the challenging behaviour of one of the residents, but saying that "strategies and extra support services have been successful in managing that behaviour."Fri, 19 Sep 2003 21:06:00 +1100\xmlcontent\200309\949789.xmlABC GippslandgippslandCommunity and Society:Domestic Violence:AllLaw, Crime and Justice:Courts and Trials:AllLaw, Crime and Justice:Police:AllAustralia:VIC:Sale 3850
